Epithelioid angiosarcoma arising after an endovascular aneurysm repair: case report and review of the literature.

We report the case of a 68-year-old male who was hospitalized for suspicion of endoleak and thrombosis of an aortic endoprosthesis, arising after multiple endovascular interventions during the last few months. During the intervention, amass was discovered, and biopsies were made. The anatomopathology results were in favor of an epithelioid angiosarcoma with atypical expression of CD31 and ERG- and no amplification of c-MYC.

Trisomy rescue mechanism: the case of concomitant mosaic trisomy 14 and maternal uniparental disomy 14 in a 15-year-old girl.

Maternal uniparental disomy of chromosome 14 (upd(14)mat) is responsible for a Prader-Willi-like syndrome with precocious puberty. Although upd(14) is often hypothesized to result from trisomy rescue mechanism, T14 cell lines are usually not found with postnatal cytogenetic investigations. We report the coexistence of both chromosomal abnormalities in a 15-year-old girl.

Primary breast amyloidosis presenting solely as nonpalpable microcalcifications: a case report with review of the literature.

Primary breast amyloidosis is a rare disease and usually occurs as unilateral or bilateral palpable masses. Primary breast amyloidosis presenting solely as microcalcifications is extremely rare. The authors report a case of a 73-year-old woman with persistent suspicious microcalcifications without palpable mass.

Solitary fibrous tumor of the vagina: a case report with review of the literature.

Solitary fibrous tumor, initially described in the pleura, is now known to occur in various extrathoracic sites. However, its occurrence in the female genital tract, especially the vagina, is extremely rare. The authors report here a case of a well-circumscribed vaginal spindle cell nodule in a 48-year-old woman with features consistent with solitary fibrous tumor.

Inflammatory pseudotumours of the urinary bladder in dogs resembling human myofibroblastic tumours: a report of eight cases and comparative pathology.

Eight cases of inflammatory myofibroblastic tumours (IMT) of the urinary bladder in dogs are described, including their clinical, imaging, morphological, and histopathological aspects. Old small breed female dogs were more commonly affected. Haematuria was the main clinical sign, often associated with dysuria and crystalluria.

Sweat gland hamartoma resembling human syringocystadenoma papilliferum in two young cats.

Syringocystadenoma papilliferum, a hamartoma with mostly sweat gland, but also follicular infundibular elements, is described on the flank and head of two young cats. Clinically, lesions were cutaneous plaques characterized by irregular but sharply demarcated borders and a roughened, hyperpigmented surface. Complete surgical excision in one case was curative.

[Isolated primary amyloidosis of the bladder].

Amyloidosis is a group of storage diseases concerning various proteins, classified as a function of the type of protein. Amyloidosis of the bladder is a rare disease (about one hundred cases have been reported over the last thirty years), but the bladder appears to be the most frequent site in the urinary tract. Amyloidosis may be either primary or secondary, isolated or involving multiple organs.
